Why do this first
A wrong part or radio choice usually shows up after the first PCB run, when fixing it means a new board revision and another round of samples. On paper the same change takes a few days.
Sprints often find a cheaper route than the obvious one. When a product already has a serial port, for example, adding connectivity can mean a small add-on module that reads it, with no change to the main board (how that works). If an off-the-shelf product does the job, we will tell you.
What you get
- A system architecture document: a block diagram from sensor to dashboard, with the protocol on every link and why we chose it.
- Part choices. For anything with a long lead time or one supplier, a named second source.
- A costed BoM estimate at the volumes you expect, with notes on Indian distributors.
- A risk list with what we would test first.
- A plan split into phases with milestones, so you can fund one phase at a time.
How a sprint runs
It starts with a requirements workshop, at your site or online. We look at the machine or the product and write down what the brief usually leaves out, such as available power, mounting and who maintains the unit after installation. Then we choose parts, set out the cloud side and cost the BoM, sending you drafts as we go. It ends with a risk review, the phased plan and a read-through with your team.
What we need from you
One person who can answer our questions within a day, and access to the product or the machine. Send any spec or tender document you already have. When a sprint overruns, it is usually because answers took a week to come back.
What it does not cover
A sprint produces documents and decisions. Nothing runs at the end of it. If you need a working unit to show someone, see the proof of concept, or do both in sequence.
